The Minister of Mines and Energy, Adolfo Sachsida, said this Tuesday (12) that Brazil has enough diesel stock to supply the country in up to 50 days without the need for imports.
“The ministry is very attentive to the diesel issue and until yesterday Brazil had 50 days. If something were to happen in the world and no more oil could be imported, Brazil would still have 50 days of diesel without having to import it”, declared the minister.
The statement was made during a session of the Economic Affairs Commission (CAE) to address the current fuel situation in Brazil.
“We are well prepared and well positioned, closely monitoring the evolution of the international scenario,” he added.
Questioned by senators, Sachsida also stated that, as a minister, he has “nothing to do” to reduce fuel prices. Even so, the minister highlighted the release of the direct sale of ethanol as a possible solution to improve the price of fuel at the pump.
“We have been working on direct sales, trying to increase competition in the ethanol sector. I think that with this we will be able to lower the price a little”, he commented.
According to a document from the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Brazil has diesel stock for 50 days as of this Monday, July 11.
The ministry indicates that the country is supplied by the end of the year, but remains attentive to the market and monitors the supply of fuels together with the ANP and EPE, in addition to counting on the collaboration of sector agents.
The document was presented during the Economic Affairs Commission (CAE), which began this Tuesday morning and was attended by Sachsida and the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes.
The ministers spoke about fuel prices and the guarantee of supply in the national territory.
